This was built in 1843 and was originally three weavers' cottages. Then one of the weavers applied for a beer licence, to supply the textile traders taking pack horses between West Yorkshire and Manchester. The three cottages have since become one establishment, with an extension at the front to accommodate more dining space. The pub is out on its own, on the edge of a very small village, and close to Stoodley Pike and the Pennine Bridleway.

decor - 5
It has a slightly cliched country pub decor, with lots of horse brasses on the walls, but this works. The seating is comfortable, and there are three different areas to sit inside, with outdoor eating areas at the front and the back.

Serves food (medium length pub menu, check their website for the current choices).
It also warrants a point for the location, right under the Pennine hills in the Calder Valley.
